Celebrating Gig Harbor’s historic working waterfront and the craft of wooden boatbuilding
Our mission is to perpetuate working waterfront skills, uses, and traditions at the historic Eddon Boatyard and aboard classic vessels of Puget Sound.
The waterfront site of the Eddon Boatyard was home to the Anderson, Glein and Eddon boat companies, and is the birthplace of the Thunderbird Sailboat.
Our History
We couldn’t do this without your help
As a non-profit organization, every dollar makes a difference.
Whether you’re a member or making a donation, your gift helps us to continue to pass on the trade of wooden boatbuilding, offer a variety of public maritime programs, engage in our community, and more.
Thank you for helping us continue to do what we love most!
“GHB is a gathering place where a shared interest brings people together to work with their hands, learn new skills and meet new friends.”
— Tom Regan, Boatwright
